La pionnière ! A Rulles, on aime l’amertume et on aime boire en quantité sous le soleil de Gaume. Il fallait répondre à ce besoin. En 2004, la bière du quatrième anniversaire, que l’on décida de garder, devint l’année suivante l’Estivale. Aves ses notes d’agrumes et sa grande fraîcheur, c’est une pionnière des bières légères en alcool et de grand caractère.

Bottle from alesbymail.com. Hazy orange/golden pour with a thick, creamy head. Aromas of tangerines, peaches, orange peel, grapefruit. Fresh citrus/summer fruits nose. Flavours of honey, citrus burst, tropical fruit, lemon peel, hops. Full on fruity mouthfeel. Finishes sharp, bitter and very refreshing. Nice.

(bottle, 75cl) Hazy, deep golden colour with a short frothy tanned head. Sweet and slightly cara-malty aroma with distinctively fruity and zesty hoppy notes of lemon, pineapples and some herbal accents. Bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied with a crispy mouthfeel. Moderately fruit-accented taste with a tinge of cara-malt and belgian yeast-character; pretty dry and bitter hoppy finish. Quaffable and a bit Saison-like brew. 03.II.10

75cl Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. Poured a slightly hazy yellow colour with a good sized lingering white head. Aroma was musty yeast, with some fragrant hop, citrus and malt. Slid down super smoothly. Flavour was lightly sweet and had a really nice fresh zest to it . Really well balanced with plenty happening to tease the taste buds. Malt and hops well proportioned with a nice gentle spiciness. Some bitterness in the finish. Enjoyable stuff.

Draught (Delirium, Brussels) - Golden in colour. Hoppy aroma with hints of grapefruit and a slightly spicy element. Delicious taste with lovely hoppy notes featuring tangy grapefruit and pineapple. The finish is hoppy and nicely balanced. Truly delicious.

Draft at Nachbar. Frothy white head that slowly diminishes. The body is pale gold and hazy. Nice aroma of floral hops, grapefruit with notes of toasted malt and grain. Hint of dusty cobweb and laquer. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finished lightly sweet, moderately bitter and lightly acidic. Very dry. Medium body with a clean, fizzy texture from the carbonation. The more of this I drank, the more I liked it — perhaps because the strong hop presence was a surprise for a Belgian pale ale. Refreshing, nicely bittered, clean mouthfeel. Very good especially on a hot summer evening.

draft at Delirium in Brussels - Pours hazy yellow with a one finger, fluffy head. There’s a mild aroma of pale malt and hops. The flavor is moderately hopped with notes of citrus and grass. It’s light to medium bodied with a crisp hop finish with lingering bitterness. Very nice brew.

14/03 0.75 l bottle shared with Doggythedog, from beershop.hr. It poured murky golden to orange body with some small yeast particles floating inside. Orange (Amarillo) hops aroma, fine but simple, having about nothing more here. Flavor is hoppy as well, citrus bitterish with some subtle vanilla malty and yeasty base. Well, it’s quite fine and pretty tasty for the ABV, although quite watery. Finish is longer, smooth although hops have their bite. Much more like an IPA than a Belgian ale, it’s an interesting and fine brew.
